Who is Bloke?

Post by Bigsum90 »

I am new to TubeNet. I keep reading "bloke this and bloke that". Is Bloke a real person or just a figurative concoction? In any case Block seems to know a lot. Thanks. Bigsum

Oh, Joy! I just purchased my first Sellmansberger rim, cup and shank. Did I get enough pieces?

If your part of 90 goes through the Florida Panhandle, I sure hope you missed the brunt of the storm...but 90 is way over 1000 miles long, so…
And a hurricane can certainly travel that many miles or more.

"Bloke" is an old Australian colloquial word meaning "guy" in the US. Examples: Who is this bloke called "Bloke"? What does this bloke look like? Is he a good bloke? "Bloke" may have perhaps visited Australia at some time and picked up the expression, there again the bloke may not have. This post comes from a bloke in Australia.

I saw this on the main screen - is this bloke's secret identity? Is he a reincarnation? Maybe a limited edition Conn tuba (or a copy of one?)
